OUIL501 - Book Development

I started making plan sketches for my book, I started researching the slaughter process, watching videos and reading articles. I wanted to keep the story quite short and simple, with a blunt narrative, which is often the tone of childrens books, so I kept the story to 8 pages long. I started out by planning each page and then painting it using water colour, but after I finished one I didn't think it looked clean and precise enough to be the final image, so I decided to finish them off digitally.

I first painted the front cover with watercolours rather than digital and I really liked the outcome, I think mainly because there was a lot less detail in the front cover than in the pages, so it was easier to create a nice image.
